Our Simple Days

Stephen and I really don't get out of the house a lot.

It used to drive me crazy to be cooped up all of the time, but now we are used to it.

Now that my knee is better, a couple of days a week we do drive my husband to work so that I can have the car. Our local hospital has a nice little trail to walk. We tried to walk it several times last winter but it is up on a hill, no trees, and this is a very windy town. It just didn't work for Stephen at all.

Now it is summer though; mornings are pleasant.

Last time we walked I let Stephen go very slowly, filling his pockets with treasures (rocks) along the way.

Today we chose another treasure--we'll share it in a moment.

First let me show you our very drab ugly eating area.

My husband and I move about every 2 years right now, and just live in rental houses.

The current house is wonderfully large (for us), but so ugly!

We grow weary of hanging and taking down decor so we don't have much on our walls in the living room/dining room area.

Oh little boys and treasures in their pockets! My son use to do that all the time! I use to fear washing his pants because you never knew what was lurking in the pockets, hahaha. Simple things are a treasure! Those flowers are beautiful and your table is now so bright and cheery!

What a wonderful post! My son treasured rocks too. He called them his "rock collection" and we still have them in the attic. A whole craft box full of them! I'll never throw them away, no matter how old he gets.

What a lovely table now...such pretty fabric in the tablecloth...and the perfect vase for the wildflowers...it looks so inviting...stick the kettle on I'm coming over!...oh darn, my aeroplane is out of petrol *LOL*...

Pleased to meet ya!
